Scribbles About Movies: Trailer Reviews! Finding Dory and Ghostbusters

So I used to do these a lot... and I haven't done one since the My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 trailer... but 2 important movies are coming up... so why not!

Finding Dory 
If you want to know what I'm talking about you can watch the trailer right here.

I love Finding Nemo. Its one of my favorite Pixar movies... and probably just one of my favorite movies. This is one of those movies that I can watch any time its on and just always enjoy.

And this seems like the way to do a sequel for it. In the original, Dory mentions that she has a family... but she doesn't know where they are. She also talks in her sleep... and now she's started sleep-swimming and she remembers where she came from and she has to find her family.

I like that this really plays off the original movie, but its about a character we know and love already and I think it will be a fun one to watch. Its a good follow up and I think the original movie is so loved and so good that it will seem like no time has passed at all! I'm excited for this one!

Ghostbusters 
Alright... if you look under the comments on youtube... you're going to get angry because people are sexist pigs... so if you're not sexist... You might get angry.

So I think this movie looks awesome! I think the cast is really funny... Kate McKinnon wrote the script, Paul Feig is directing... they are both awesome... people just seem to be super against this movie for no good reason.

That being said... I wanted to love the trailer a little more than I did. I thought the effects and everything were cool and I'm glad that there is a 2016 ghostbusters movie... that makes sense to me. Especially with Paranormal stuff being so high.

And I'm glad its with women. Mindy Kaling wrote in her book that she wants an all female Ghostbusters and I was like "wow there are so many awesome female comedians and comedy actresses... that is a brilliant idea." And it still is. They remake Spiderman every few years... why not Ghostbusters after 30 years... Just calm down. Lol.

Anyway... I feel like my review of this trailer is unfair because I didn't 100% love it... but I think people are being stupid and close-minded about it... I have a lot of feelings about this movie... but basically, we get paid less then men, and women's items actually cost more than men's... so just let us have a ghostbusters. I think it'll be good. No one is expecting it to be the best movie of all time... Just let us have a stinkin' ghostbusters!

And if you want to watch the trailer cause my opinion is a little mixed on the trailer you can watch it for yourself right here.

Byeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
